Truth: Act Two

Early hours of the morning and Dustin had fallen asleep again only this time waiting for the next person on shift.

Six in the morning, Dustin finally has his chance to tell Hunter what happened the night before. Being the nice guy he is, shrugs it off but if Tori does not say anything, he will tell him.

Hunter carried the crimson teddy bear and set it beside Tori's face. She did not move, sound asleep for the second time. Hunter sat there, beside her in the chair and became hungrier and hungrier.

Tori opened her eyes to the wide eyes of the bear. She moved back quickly before realizing it was only a teddy bear. She tried to roll over but in the process hit her stomach. She held her breath and when the pain disappeared, she let it out and breathed normally.

Tori looked around the room and found no one. She tried to sit up and succeeded. She walked around the room easily and found herself sitting beside the window on the far side of the room. She looked out, hoping to see someone having fun outside seeing as she could not at the moment.

A hand reached out and touched her shoulder. She thought it was Dustin because he never mentioned anything about shifts or anything. She turned around, startled to see who was really there.

"I'm going to kill you." She joked.

"Right." Hunter replied with a laugh.

"I would too, if I could." She smiled.

"Why can't you?" He taunted.

"I have my reasons, hey, where'd Dustin go?"

"His turn was over. Shane watched you the day before yesterday and I watched you the day before that, Dustin left at six to get some sleep."

"Six, Dustin awake at six? Are you sure?" Tori joked but did not laugh due to the pain in her stomach.

"Hey, now that it think about it, I'm not."

"Aren't you mad?"

"At you? What for?"

"Right, guess I'm just used to someone being mad at me all the time." Tori sighed.

"Maybe, you ready to go?"

"Am I ready to go." Tori grinned.

"Dustin's right, I hope your face does get stuck." Hunter joked.

Tori glared at him and got up with ease. She walked into the bathroom in the corner of her room. She was in the bathroom for a few minutes and emerged fully dressed.

"Who ever said it takes girls forever to get ready?" Tori stated.

"Not me."

"Only when I'm not around." Tori laughed and bent over in pain.

"Oh yeah, that might hurt a bit."

"Not just a bit." Tori retorted as she held her breath again.
